official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[trag3dy]

No patch this week, it failed QA again apparently. How fail is their coding and whatever else that it's not passed how many times in a row now? 8? 9? They said it will be out next Monday depending on if it will pass Steams QA or not.

There will be no PC patch this week, Kalms is on the case.This pushes our release to Monday next week as long as all goes well with QA/Steam

/sigh

The maintenance they did today for 360/PS3 was suppose to help fix the lag. It didn't and still no Onslaught mode.

I do not remember Bad Company being this horrible off. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I just got this game and i LOVE the online, but the constant disconnects and lag in every game is extremely annoying.

People are blaming Steam because of DICE's inability to make a patch that works. :laugh:

"Xbox 360 owners will be able to pick up Onslaught mode in the very near future and we are also still investigating the possibility of Onslaught coming to PC."

PS3 owners already got Onslaught today, 360 have to wait for an unknown amount of time. Screw DICE and all their BS.

Wow, great, just great! I have the rest of this week off but of course the patch won't be released. I'm a patient person but this is a joke...

To make this post less whiney, lets discuss the awesomeness that is pp2000 with magnum and extra ammo. I love this combo.

Well, it obviously tripped something in Steam QA, so yeah I guess the blame is 90/10 (10 being Steam).

that's BS, they are what? 2 months over due now? and in that time they couldn't get it t pass Steam's QA?

[ViperAFK]

This is definitely DICE's fault, anyone blaming steam is just silly. They have like 1 dude working on the patch, thats why its taking so damn long.

But it's ok that Activision has given everything to the 360 first?

As far as I know, that isn't ok either.

Just checking since you never mentioned anything like that in the MW2 thread.

Not defending the idiots that are DiCE just pointing out is all ;p

I didn't defend or condone it because I don't have MW2 on my PS3. If I had MW2 on my PS3 and I was delayed content by a month like the 360, I too would be ****ing and moaning about it.

[Slane]

So apparently to fix the lag (that's been plaguing the 360), if you switch your EA.com profile country to UK you'll play on UK servers, which are lag free, even when playing from US.

So it seems only the US servers are ****ed up. As that last few games I've played have been lag-free and once I switched back to USA as country it was laggy.

Confirmed, onslaught for the 360 tomorrow, 6/24/10. BFT!

Anyone noticing worse performance with the Catalyst 10.6 drivers? I'm not talking about the CrossFire issue that's affecting people with HD 5000 video cards. I have an HD 4870 and I swear I'm getting noticeably worse performance than before (Catalyst 10.5). The game stutters and my FPS is nearly halved in the first 30 seconds of joining a server. After that, my FPS goes up and down like the beating of a healthy heart.

no for sure, im just reiterating your point.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Also does this use a separate friends list to Steam? If so I'll probably be Chasethebase when I get my copy on Saturday.

Yes. As far as I'm aware, the only games that use Steam's friends list are games that use Steamworks.

"Baza: BFBC2 PC patch is back on its way for STEAM compatibility testing with Kalms making all the fixes and QA here confirmed it working."

Twitter / Barrie Tingle: BFBC2 PC patch is back on ...

[rajputwarrior]

i can't wait until this patch anymore!!! im even play this crappy version cause i miss the game that much...

squad deatmatch owns if you are on a good squad that works together.

and and i know this is no big, finally hit lvl 20. I got to lvl 18 in good time, but then i stopped playing for almost 2 months.

[Slane]

Just did a short single round of Onslaught, waiting on some friends to get home and download. It's looks like it's going to be awesome. I'll see how it goes with a squad, but I'm thinking it's going to be fun.

It's fun. Only challenge is on Hardcore mode and even then, with a decent squad you shouldn't have any trouble with it. But nice change to the normal BC2 combat.

Anyone know what the Multiplayer Update 2 did/changed, other than allow you to play Onslaught?

[Hedon]

Played all 4 maps in Onslaught last night and got 4 out of 8 acheevos. It's indeed fun, and I am glad they added it. However, I don't think it's $10 worth IMO. Probably really worth $7 at most. Once you play through them, which is relatively quick on normal mode (best time so far for one map taking down 3 flags is 4 minutes), it will be pretty repetitive after awhile. No doubt hardcore mode will make it take longer and add additional need for some skills and working together. We were able to do 2 people on the desert map, and took our time and did it on normal in 20 minutes. We were scoping out the map and trying different options.

Drop in and drop out is awesome.
